1. - Tom Welling, The Fog, 2004. Before TV’s young Superman became the fishing-boat skipper hero, the producers (one, Debra Hill, dying before the film did) also saw: David Boreanaz, Michael Cassidy, Henry Cavill (the new, 2011 Supie), Peter Facinelli, Matthew Fox, Adam Garcia. Welling and  Metcalfe worked on the same series, Smallville.

2. - Henry Cavill, Blood Creek, 2007. Director Joel Schumacher changed his hero on the vengeance trail...

3. - Robert Pattinson, Twilight, 2007. “I think Stephenie Meyer [the author] wanted me initially when she saw me in The Count of Monte Cristo [2001], but by the time the movie went into pre-production I was too old.”
